Whether it’s “fake finalist” labeling or not, the Open House last year was great and was the deciding factor in my son’s decision to go to MICA (and yes, he got a big scholarship). I suspected at the time, maybe they were trying to weed out indifferent finalists from the list, by seeing who showed up at the event.

FWIW, there were two tour groups that day, one of which was specifically for “Scholarship Finalists” (with a rah-rah speech by school Pres. Fred Lazarus at Falvey Hall), so I assumed the other group (quite a bit larger) would not be offered a merit scholarship, but I didn’t ask.

If you’re thinking about going to MICA, and you are a scholarship finalist, this is definitely a worthwhile event.
